I recently went in search of Chartreuse Green - it's a spirit used to make an iconic cocktail The…read moreLast Word - a prohibition era cocktail. Apparently, it's been somewhat of a challenge to find this spirit - as only a small amount is made by the Carthusian monks of the Grande Chartreuse monastery in France. I happened to find several Virginia ABC Stores in the 15-20 mile range from my home - so I cruised over to snag two bottles. I could not find it on the shelf - so I checked with the staff. The Chartreuse Green was stored in the back - they promptly retrieved two bottles for me - plus I restocked my supply of Luxardo Maraschino Cherry Liqueur with a fresh bottle. This particular Virginia ABC Store feels smaller than most. Paid with Apple Pay. Service was good! #VirginiaABCStore

I wish the state would get out of the booze business. Most don't do this anymore, but Virginia's…read moregovernment does. Instead of private liquor stores, you go to these instead. Yes as you guessed it, thanks to Richmond's fingers being in the mix, it's considerably far more expensive. I don't like this, as we are supposed to be capitalist in all that we do. On a positive note the employees here are really nice. They are also quite knowledgeable. Have gotten my Scotch/Irish relatives whiskey from here for Christmas. They do occasionally have gift packages. These makes for a good looking present. Stocked well and clean. The store is very organized. Richmond please get out of the commonwealth's booze, and please limit government involvement in commerce.

Happened 2 weeks ago. Wrote email to customercare@totalwine.com that is explaining the matter but…read moredid not get response back in 2 weeks, so i am writing here now. We experienced older lady was so rude. ID CHECK acceptable 24 hour ban- I DID NOT understand So, my boyfriend and I were at the Fairfax Total Wine location, trying to buy a bottle of wine. He was the one paying, and he showed his ID. The cashier asked mine, but mine was in the car. The cashier said they need to check everyone's ID. We completely understood.When a group of people purchase, they have to present their ID. It is the store policy that applies to all states. Truly UNDERSTANDABLE. We said we'll go grab my ID from the car, and we'll be back in 2 minutes." The store was not even busy at the time; there were only two of us, and maybe there were two more people, including her. But then the lady at the counter said something that totally threw me off - she goes, "No, NOW I CAN'T SELL IT to you for 24 HOURS." She explained it was some POLICY that if anyone doesn't have their ID, EVEN IF WE GO AND GET IT, they won't sell us alcohol for a whole day. I said okay, I'll wait outside so he can get in and collect them again." But she refused to sell it to my partner and we felt like we'd been blacklisted from the store for the entire day. We asked to see the policy but no response. WHY make us wait 24 hours for something that could've been fixed in five minutes? The entire thing felt completely unnecessary. I was just standing there, totally shocked. I've never heard of any rule like that in any store! It's not like we were trying to SNEAK AROUND WITHOUT SHOWING ID. I know there are laws around alcohol sales, and stores have to be strict, but is this 24-hour thing really a Total Wine policy? Or was she just making it up because she didn't want to deal with us? I've never run into something like this before. PS: We did not argue with the group ID check policy, but 24 hour store ban.

We shop here frequently and love the selection of wines & beers. You can find varietals from all…read moreover the world and they have a great selection of accessories too, including seasonal items. I went here to get some Rosé wine for our beach trip; a case to be exact and FYI you get 10% off if you purchase a case! I knew exactly what I wanted but immediately after I entered he store, I was greeted by a lovely gentleman with a delightful British accent. He was so charming, pleasant, and attentive. He found my wine right away, got my case for me and we had a fabulous discussion about Rosé. It doesn't get any better than that! Merci beaucoup!
